This international collection studies how the financial crisis of
2007 and the ensuing economic and political crises in Europe and
North America have triggered a process of change in the field of
economics, law and politics. Contributors to this book argue that
both elites and citizens have had to rethink the nature of the
market, the role of the state as a market regulator and as a
provider of welfare, the role of political parties in
representing society’s main political and social cleavages, the
role of civil society in voicing the concerns of citizens, and
the role of the citizen as the ultimate source of power in a
democracy but also as a fundamentally powerless subject in a
global economy.

The book studies the actors, the areas and the processes that
have carried forward the change and proposes the notion of
‘incomplete paradigm shift’ to analyse this change. Its authors
explore the multiple dimensions of paradigm shifts and their
differentiated evolution, arguing that today we witness an
incomplete paradigm shift of financial regulations, economic
models and welfare systems, but a stillbirth of a new political
and economic paradigm.
